Goa Medical College (GMC) (Konkani: गोवा मेडिकल कॉलेज) is a medical college and hospital in Goa, India. It was built during the Portuguese rule in 1842 as the Escola Médico-Cirúrgica de (Nova) Goa (Medical-Surgical School of Goa). It is one of the oldest medical colleges in Asia teaching western medicine.[6][7][8]Calcutta Medical College in 1835 and Stanley Medical College in 1838, are two other medical colleges which were built in India before this one. These were built by the erstwhile British Raj.[9] The college also has one of the oldest medical library which was set up in 1945.[10]

Originally located in Panjim, the college was moved to Alto-Bambolim in the year 1993. The college is under the Goa University since 1986 before which it was under the Bombay University.[11] The Institute of Psychiatry and Human Behaviour (Bambolim) the TB and Chest Disease Hospital (St. Inez), The Rural Health and Training Centre (Mandur) and the Urban Health Centre (St. Cruz) form part of the Establishment. The college is affiliated to Goa University, and offers the MBBS course, several MS and MD courses, and some super-specialisations.
